Speaking about clashing with the producers, he added: "I made some sort of crack about the fact that when we started doing Neighbours, we got paid the same money as when I was doing The Young Doctors."

This is not the first time the actor has slated his former show, saying previously: "The producers were greedy and nasty.

"There are many examples of the things these people did and, as far as I know, are still doing.

"I used to fight them all the time, which is one of the reasons we parted company."
